Try adding this to the new kernel's options in /etc/grub.conf after updating and before rebooting: pci=nomsi,nommconf So it should look something like kernel <kernel-name> ro root=LABEL=/ pci=nomsi,nommconf <other options> And the old kernel is still there after updating, you can press a key on the very first boot screen and choose the old kernel.
I did that and boot still does not work (hangs)on the new kernel Also as you said the old one is still there so was able to edit in your change. I have quiet also is there a verbose option that might help to see where it stops. as this time it was only showing the "booting the kernel"
Sorry my error It is now working and 14 more packages updated also monitor noe showing more options for size I am a happy camper -- thanks
